Statement to the Nation

“The ballot boxes have spoken. The Brazilian people, the sole authority of democracy, have made it clear that they want change. They want attention and respect. Those who understood this were reelected. With the others, renewal took place.

This renewal was strongly reflected in the composition of the National Congress and in the strength of the presidential candidacy that reached the second round in first place.

Society does not want repeated formulas or crude speeches.
It wants new ideas, new attitudes, new projects, and a different path.

It therefore wants reconnection.
And reconnection is Flávio.

A good Brazil to everyone!

— Michel Temer”
